A sign of bad menu implementation.  As we've both mentioned, KDE menus
have been a mess, for quite some time.  That's one thing I've liked
about the Gnome menus, they're generally simple.  e.g. Doodahs to
configure your system are generally all in the one menu, not spread all
about (unlike your other post about admin, utilities and system).

Searching for something only works if you can guess/remember the right
keyword to search for.  Whereas a menu offers you all your choices to
look through.
